Railbookers lists this nineteen-day independent rail vacation as a journey from Paris to India aboard two of the world's best-known trains: the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express, which runs as far as Istanbul, and the Maharajas' Express, which operates across India. At $51,389 per person, it is priced well above most of the operator's other rail holidays. The listing available does not include a day-by-day itinerary, named hotels, or a breakdown of what the fare covers beyond the two trains themselves, so the shape of the days in between, and how travelers move between Istanbul and India, is not specified here.
